Have you been following Laura’s postings as she makes her first quilt? Now we’re on day three of her journey.
The top is finished. It was fun. The method I used was cut cut cut, then sew sew sew! The backing is done too and all that is left is for me to quilt it. The long arm machine is far from simple. It’s intimidating. Scary, to say the least. But I think I can get over it. Maybe. Danielle might have to do A LOT of it, but I’d still be happy! She’s the best teacher I’ve ever had. Like ever. Like in all my 8 years of school, she is my favorite. She can coach me through it and keep me from freaking out. I’ll attempt to begin.
